”What a miserable lot you women have. From the day you’re born, anything you want is yours for the asking, and so you have nothing to work for—-and even if you did, you’d never be permitted to work for it. We don’t allow you to study and you’re forbidden sports, so you cannot exercise your mind and your body. You don’t even have honor to cling to, for although a man’s honor is his for as long as he wishes, yours is between your legs, and you lose it to the first man who has you. How unjust life is to you!

Jordan Addison Matthew Townsede, Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught
